I purchased this scent for my father. My brother, who rarely wears cologne, loved it. I then purchased some for my him.

Pi For Men by Givenchy is a long-lasting, subtle scent with incredible complexity. Such a nice change from many of the "in-your-face" men's colognes. And this is not to say that Pi is not noticeable; it just is refined. Although I am not a man, I spritzed some on my wrist to test it and kept smelling it, happily, all day. It is the scent that I would want on the man that I hug a lot. Having a 15 year old son who has tried countless colognes, and a father who has tried even more, I have to say that Pi is, hands down in my opinion, the best scent for men that I have ever encountered.

While in total agreement with all the positive reviews of PI COLOGNE, and a long time user of PI COLOGNE, let me offer one word of warning to those who purchase the product online.

There are many, many online sources for buying fragrances. In a few instances, we have found the lowest prices to be found at web sites that have sold us out of date merchandise. Both my wife and I have been disappointed to make a fragance purchase online, but when used, did not have long lasting impact hoped for when bought.

Our solution?

Call the web site directly, and ask when the product was produced, when it arrived at their warehouse, and how long it has been in their inventory. When we did this, we got FRESH PRODUCT. When PI COLOGNE is fresh, the fragrance lasts all day long with a subtle and pleasing aroma. A great product..........we agree with the review that called PI one of the five greatest of all time.

Funny story, I was at a local store in the mall shopping one day, about 8 years ago. I had bought my usual Obsession. I work in and with construction workers all day, so a light spray is all I ever use. The young woman at the cologne counter asked me if I had tried Givenchy PI. I'm not trying to be some highly cultured guy here, "Tried it? I can't even say that". She handed me a whole bag of the samples of Givenchy PI and told me to try it out since it reminded some of a lighter, more masculine Obsession.

I thought nothing of it, but as soon as I tried it, I loved it. My wife at the time, I was only about 24, she hated it! Oh, it wasn't because she really hated it, it was because she was a jealous type.

Yeah, so fast forward, divorce, and I swear to you all, she stole one of my shirts and sprayed Givenchy PI all over it! Over the next few years, we went back to being at least friends and about once a week she would stop by and ask me to spray the shirt.

Sure that doesn't say much for me, she let me go, but not the smell. Needless to say, I moved on, got married to a different lady, and my ex no longer comes by to get me to spray the shirt for her. I could make this a review riddle and ask if you know why, but since I am really trying to tell how great this cologne is, I will tie up the loose strings.

I married the woman from the cologne counter that gave me the Givenchy samples, and my ex, being a friend by then, came to our wedding, where my new wife, the cologne saleswoman, gave her a box of Givenchy samples so she would stop coming by to have me spray the shirt! Oh and yeah, this stuff is much better fresh. My ex says the samples don't smell near as good as the bottle I have. Of course, the samples were old and that is how my current wife was able to give her a whole box of the samples.

Moral of the story, this cologne is loved by women. To this day, I am asked at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, what I am wearing by women and men always ask, "Hey man, come here, what kind of cologne is that? Smells good" you know, all secretive like, like they don't want any other men hearing me tell them the name of it.

The other moral is current wife still will spite ex-wife, even if it just outdated Givenchy samples!

One of my yearly presents from my wife during the holidays usually and one that I would recommend to all men for themselves or to women to buy for their man. In ending, fellas, if you ever thought cologne was too feminine or too anything, don't do it with this one. Try it out, you'll mostly likely love it and the responses you get from it.

My first review, so bare with me...
so, i purchased my first bottle of the stuff about 10 years ago(i use it sparingly). finally running out. did it go bad/stale? i doubt it. still smells amazing and is just as long-lasting as when i bought it. i did store it properly, so who knows... that's besides the point. i needed a new bottle to replace my last one. i was kind of worried about it being fake, based on a few reviews i've read. i pulled the trigger and bought it through amazon...

got it today.
i looked up a few videos on how to tell fake colognes to see if this was real.

i questioned my purchase because my original bottle(3.3oz) had the Pi symbol towards the bottom of the glass. the one i received(also 3.3oz) had a larger Pi symbol towards the top of the glass. also, the new cologne had a slightly darker tint. i've read that Givenchy had a few different bottle designs for Pi and mine was congruent with all the pics i have seen.

1.) the packaging looks legit. has all the official Givenchy logos/stamps etc. ALTHOUGH, there were parts of the top folding tab on the box that were ripped off by cutting with a razor blade, kind of like when u remove labels from cardboard. idk what that's all about. probably manufactures rules of resale and UPC stuff. shrugs.
2.) i see the bottom of the box has a barcode (some/most? fakes dont have an actual barcode, although it IS easy enough to print one).
3.) there is a serial number stamped into the box, 4 characters long, along with a percentage stamped below that. most fake productions would not spend the money for a stamping machine).
4.) the bottle shape, design, size were exactly the same. to the last detail.
5.) the bottom of the bottle has the SAME 4 digit serial number LASER ETCHED into the bottle. again, fake productions would almost certainly not go to such lengths to make a fake. they want cheap production with maximum profit.
6.) comparing the scent from my almost depleted bottle with my new one, the new one is a tad stronger but has the SAME fragrance, tones, and aromatics.

so there, thats how i was assured my bottle was real. and if i missed anything, feel free to comment. this isn't a 100% foolproof way to determine fakes, it's just enough to put my mind to rest. also, this doesnt apply to EVERY fragrance out there, but it could be used as a reference.

lastly, ENJOY YOUR Pi! THE LADIES LOVE THIS STUFF!!! i've gotten countless compliments when i do wear it.

i hope this has helped you.

Givenchy fragrances fits in to any mood and any time of the day. I love this product.

This is it guys. You won't smell like a urinal cake (even your best friends won't tell you) with Pi. I am NOT a heavy user of colognes but this is great. The smell is somewhat vanilla and if you use it sparingly women really respond to it. EVERYONE I let smell or try this loves it and that opinion has been consistent for 8 yrs now.

And guys less is more. If you are deluded into thinking splashing on the old toilet water is going to make you irresistible STOP. Where the cologne don't let it wear you. Remember if you wanna get laid you have to let the lady breathe.

Good product good place to buy it from. Shipped out fast and packaged good. Would buy items from them again

I have been using Pi since it first came out.I've ran out one time and bought Pi Neo,but did not like it.So I came here to get the real thing.(Pi)

I love the scent of this stuff. It's very amazing. I used Gravity for a long time, but more less quit wearing it. I decided to check out a few colognes while in a store the other day and found I liked the initial smell of Pi and Adidas 1. I put some on each arm and walked around for about 15 minutes and the Pi only got better. It is nice and subtle scent that sticks around for a long time. I highly recommend this stuff. I wouldn't tell anyone else around you though, as you'll want to keep this stuff your secret.

This product was sold & shipped by Amazon. Bottle box was tampered including barcode. EDT has no smell at all. I have taken few picutres of the box before ditching the entire bottle. Not even worth as a car air freshner. I will upload some of the images.
